A Guide to Photography

This short guide to photography is an attempt to answer the question: what is photography? An impossible question to answer perhaps, as it is so broad. But it is still possible to say quite a lot about it! What you will find here then, is information about the different types of photographers and photography that currently exist.

The articles will lead you through an exploration of different photography niches such as abstract photography, social documentary, urban photography, photojournalism, street photography and war photography. I hope to add more in the near future. Knowing something about all the different photography forms will help you to develop your own voice and will influence your decisions when picture taking.

The in-depth articles together give an overview of the entire field. It is my hope that the articles will surprise you in such a way that you will be inspired to discover new areas, ever-expanding horizons and fresh creative endeavours. Click any one of the links on the left column to get started.
